she's running away from me
laughing and giggling and coaxing me
to chase
she's running and she doesn't notice
how out of breath i am
how tired i am
she runs and more often now
she forgets to look back
to see i'm not chasing
i cant chase any more
i grow sore
and my bones ache
she's run so far now
and here i lay
here lies my youth
